Can metoclopramide cause hirsutism?And how, what happens?Can you confirm by any test? What treatment to be well again, treat hirsutism caused by med?

Answer 1

It kind of depends.: It depends on the cause of and severity of hirsutism. For women with mild hirsutism due to pcos, a new product was just launched that helps. It's all natural and is a derivative of substances in the vitamin b family. It's called pregnitude (www.Pregnitude.Com). See a qualified reproductive endocrinologist who can discuss other options.

Answer 2

Not by itself: Hirsuitism is not dangerous, but you may want to ask your doctor why. For example, a hormonal or thyroid problem may need treatment. Pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is another example - the hirsuitism it can cause is not in itself dangerous, but associated findings like weight gain and high sugars are. Ask your doctor; they may choose to run some tests to be sure.

Answer 3

Occasionally: If it represents an underlying neoplasm of the ovaries or adrenal glands.

Answer 4

Hirsuitism: Excessive hair in a woman usually indicates a hormonal imabalance. The question is what is producing the excessive hormones and that should be worked up by an endocrinologist. Certain glands can be overactive or the organs may be more sensitiive to the hormones or there can be tumors, benign and malignant that secrete hormones. Please see a doctor that will evaluate your condition.

Answer 5

Hirsudtism: May be heriditary or if new onset it maybe cause by (pcos) polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Answer 6

Hirsutism: Some causes can be. These would include tumors of the ovary, or adrenal glands. Cystic ovaries can rupture and lead to infertility. Luckily all of these are pretty rare to occur.

Answer 7

Hirsuitism: Most times just annoying or embarrasing but occasionally it indicates an underlying ovarian or adrenal problem.

Answer 8

Very rarely: The #1 cause of excess hair growth in women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) which affects 8-10%. We diagnose pcos with an ultrasound scan & blood tests, looking for adrenal gland problems or other causes. Hormone-producing tumors causing hirsutism are incredibly rare. Pcos can pose some long-term risks if untreated like a higher chance of diabetes; rarely uterine cancer if few periods a year.

Answer 9

Depends on the cause: If the hirsutism is caused by an adrenal mass, then it's more dangerous. If it's caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, then it will impact your life but not necessarily kill you. The most important thing is to find out the cause of the hirsutism.

Answer 10

Hair growth: In plain language it means male-pattern hair growth on the face, neck, chest, or abdomen. It refers to a female and is not related to hair on the scalp. Most cases are due to polycystic ovarian syndrome or are called idiopathic hirsutism. A smaller number are from other causes, including tumors. It must be distinguished from a condition called hypertrichosis.

Answer 11

Hirsutism: Excessive hair growth in women. It is usually caused by hyperandrogenism ie too many "male" hormones. All women have androgens which cause pubic hair, body odor, axillary hair, acne, and oily skin. If excessive, hirsutism occurs.

Answer 12

Underlying cause: The first line is to treat the underlying cause: polycystic ovarian syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia are 2 common disorders that include hirsutism. Idiopathic hirsutism (without underlying cause) is treated with a combined approach, which can include birth control pills, anti-androgenic oral drugs, and sometimes tweezing, shaving or electrolysis.

Answer 13

Hirsutism: This condition of excessive hair growth in women is usually due to cultural factors or hyperandrogenism - too much male-type hormone. All women have some androgen ie pubic and axillary hair, body odor, acne, oily skin, hair loss. In women with excessive amounts, an endocrinologist can best guide treatment once a diagnosis is made. The key is to find the gland responsible for overproduction.

Answer 14

It depends: If the hirsutism is caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos), you can consider pregnitude, a new, all-natural supplement for correcting hormone imbalances found in women with pcos. You can check it out at www.Pregnitude.Com and tell them dr. Scott roseff sent you!

Answer 15

Depends on cause: Hirsutism, or excessive hair growth, may be caused by genetic/ethnic factors, and/or certain hormonal disorders. Topical treatments (shaving, waxing, plucking, laser, creams) may control hair growth. Diagnosing and then treating underlying hormonal problem (too much male hormones from ovaries or adrenals) may also help. There are rx pills that also decrease male hormone levels and effects.
